In the two short months since its premiere at Telluride Film Festival, indie powerhouse “Moonlight” has garnered the kind of buzz for which most big-budget Oscar contenders can only hope. Masterfully written and directed by Barry Jenkins (“Medicine for Melancholy”), artfully based on an unproduced play by Tarell Alvin McCraney, beautifully shot by cinematographer James Laxton and hauntingly scored by Nicholas Britell, “Moonlight” is the rare film that not only deserves the praise but lives up to every word of it.
